Rock-solid No. 1's in QC hoops polls
|
Rock Island not only remained No. 1 on Wednesday, but inched closer to a historic unanimous sweep in both the boys' and girls' votes for this week's Quad Cities Prep Basketball Power Polls. That was no mean feat, either, with No. 2 Bettendorf obliterating former No. 4 North Scott by 36 points in boys' action last weekend and girls' No. 2 Assumption knocking off a fellow first-place vote-getter in Muscatine, 49-41. However, both bunch of Rocks held off the Mississippi Athletic Conference leaders by posting perfect 2-0 weekends, highlighted by the boys' squad pounding arch-rival Moline by 30 points, and the girls' team topping a pair of locally ranked foes in former No. 14 Alleman (10-11) and now-No. 6 Sherrard (19-3). The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus adminsters the poll for a sixth straight season. Participating co-sponsors include WQAD-TV 8, MC22, WFXN-AM 1230's Quad Cities Radio Group, Aledo's WRMJ-FM 102.3, the Kewanee-based Regional Radio Group and the Clinton Herald. In the local boys' ballot, Rocky (14-3) jumped from 196 voting points last week, to 200 ouf of a possible 210 this week, receiving 13 of the 21 votes cast. Bettendorf (11-0) earned the other eight top nods and 188 points overall to finish behind Rocky for a second straight week. The Rocky girls' (20-2) also edged ahead from 204.5 voting points in last week's initial vote of the season, to 206 this week by getting named No. 1 by 17 local media members. No. 2 Assumption (11-1) and No. 3 Annawan (17-2) equally split the other four No. 1 votes. Last week, Rocky became the second school in the poll's history to be top-rated in both votes. Led by those repeating Rocks, status quo reigned in this week's poll, with the Top 10 teams on both sides of the ballot remaining the same, though there was some slight shifting. For instance in the boys' vote, Assumption (5th to 4th), Monmouth-Roseville (9th to 6th) and Kewanee (8th to 7th) moved up while North Scott (4th to 5th), Wethersfield (7th to 8th) and Pleasant Valley (6th to 9th) tumbled slightly, In the girls' poll, the climbers included Riverdale (6th to 5th), Prophetstown (8th to 7th) and Wethersfield (9th to 8th) while Sherrard (5th to 6th) and United Township (7th to 9th) both fell. No. 10 Galesburg (15-7) joined the top four girls' teams in holding their poll positions. Besides Rocky and Bettendorf, No. 3 Rockridge (15-2) and No. 10 Sterling Newman (13-3) stayed the same in the boys' poll. The Top 10 boys' teams compiled a combined record of 16-2 over the last week, with PV (8-3) joining North Scott (10-2) in accounting for the setbacks. PV fell to Iowa-rated Dubuque Senior on Tuesday. The girls' Top 10 together finished 16-5 over the last week, with Sherrard falling twice, UT (13-8) and Galesburg each losing to state-ranked foes and Assumption knocking off Muscatine for the MAC lead. In all, 17 boys' and 16 girls' squads received some sort of voting recognition in the bi-state ballot, with Moline and Bureau Valley falling off the boys' voting radar, and Alleman and Bettendorf doing the same in girls' action. ========== QC Prep Boys' Basketball Power Poll -– These local media rankings are determined on a descending points system, with a first-place vote receiving 10 points, a second-place vote receiving 9 points, and so on.
